Minna Henriksson

Minna Henriksson presented Kiila / The Wedge, Feminist Archive (2019/2021) a project that explores an artists’ and writers’ association in Finland, which traces connections between socialism and feminism in the collective organising of artists and cultural workers. The presentation included recorded discussions with active members of the association on topics derived from close readings of texts by early members.

Minna Henriksson’s participation formed part of Little did they know, the Guest Programme of the 39th EVA International, curated by Merve Elveren.
